SKIPPING BLANK PAGES IN AN ORIGINAL(BLANK PAGE SKIP)

Overview

If the scanned original contains blank pages, this function skips them to copy only non-blank pages.

The machine detects blank pages, enabling you to skip useless copies without checking an original.

If an original of which one side is blank is scanned, blank pages are skipped for 2-sided copying.
Depending on the original, some pages that are not blank may be detected as blank pages and thus not copied, and some pages that are blank may not be detected as blank and thus copied.

Operation

Place the original in the document feeder tray of the automatic document feeder, or on the document glass.

Tap the [Others] key, and tap the [Blank Page Skip] key.
